A group of archaeologists claimed that they found the tomb of the man who inspired Santa Claus underneath a church in Turkey.
Although nowadays he is the man in the red suit who lives in the North Pole, Saint Nicholas – a 4th-century Greek Christian bishop – is who the world drew inspiration from when creating him.
He was known for giving generously to the poor – and even helping make miracles happen – which is where the idea of giving presents at Christmas comes from.
